Episode #47 – The Wakandan Bobsled Team

We got the fevers! Wakandan fever and Olympic fever, that is. We talk a lot about Black Panther, but don’t worry about spoilers. We recorded this before the movie released. We talk about the Winter Olympics and Olympics in general. But it wouldn’t be us without obscure things like Wing Commander and Condorman. Oh, and you will NEVER guess what Eric’s first movie in the theater was. Chris called mom for the answer.

Why do Romulans have a “forehead” and less strength and psychic abilities than Vulcans? Dan’s theory.
